Matcha Frosted Lavender Cupcakes

In Japanese cuisine, the look of a dish or dessert is tantamount to taste. The lavender hued cupcakes are indeed a lovely sight. The perfume of the cupcake also informs the palate in a very pleasant way! Bold matcha frosting compliments the light lavender cake.

P.s. If you prefer subtler scents and tastes, reduce the matcha and lavender by a tablespoon.

Ingredients:

1 package Organic Miss Jones Vanilla Cake Mix

½ cup milk

3½ tablespoons lavender

½ cup butter, melted

3 eggs, lightly beaten

Drops of lavender food coloring

1 tub Organic Miss Jones Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

3 tablespoons matcha powder

Directions:

Gently heat the milk with the lavender with drops of food coloring. Pour the lavender milk through a strainer into a large bowl. Bring to room temperature. (Unless you want scrambled lavender eggs.)

Whisk in the cake mix, butter and eggs.

Divide the batter into cupcake cases. Bake at 350° for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
